Beach Spider Lily, Spider Lily, Peruvian Daffodil
Vigorous, Hymenocallis littoralis (Beach Spider Lily) is a tender bulbous perennial boasting showy umbels of 4-6 large, vanilla-scented, pure white flowers from mid-summer to late fall. The flowers open up to look like giant white spiders, each blossom featuring a central cup and 6 incredibly long, slender petals. The flowers rise atop leafless stalks, well above the evergreen foliage of fleshy, crowded, glossy dark green leaves. Adding flare to borders and containers, Beach Spider Lily is also perfect for coastal sites. Plant in drifts for a striking effect.
